Inks deal with Red Bulls Hack has signed with the New York Red Bulls out of free agency, according to his new club.

Impact Hack has found a new landing spot after departing Mainz in August, with the German heading stateside to join the Red Bulls. He signs a two-year deal, holding an option for the 2027 campaign. He is a solid defender who held a rotational role throughout his tenure with Mainz, although he could see that role elevate in MLS play. He also is a solid two-way threat, adding some value with his goal contributions.

Brought off due to injury Hack came off with an apparent injury during the first half of Wednesday's clash with Schalke.

Impact Hack was rock solid at the heart of the defense, posting nice numbers in multiple fantasy categories and being part of a defensive line that kept opposing forwards at bay most of the time.

Impact Hack started all six of his appearances for the club this season, in which he has recorded 17 clearances, 11 tackles (six won) and 10 interceptions along with just one shot (zero on target). While the defender is a near-lock to rejoin the starting XI against Freiburg, he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside.

Solidifies starting role Hack made 28 appearances (24 starts), scoring three goals during the 2021/22 season.

Impact Hack finally solidified a starting role in the Mainz first team. The defender had so frequently been a rotational part of the team, good for 10-15 appearances in recent years. This was a true breakout for Hack who made 28 appearances and played in over 2,000 minutes for the first time in his career. It was a commendable season and one that should keep Hack in the starting XI for the 2022/23 campaign.

Sent off in loss Hack was shown a red card during Saturday's 4-1 loss to Leipzig.

Impact Hack will now be sidelined for at least one match with a red card during the first half of Saturday's loss. Hack is an extremely limited fantasy option due to his role and his absence doesn't figure to changed anything for fantasy purposes.

Impact Hack had a great offensive outing as he found the back of the net to help his side take home all three points. The center-back has now registered two goals in 13 appearances this season. However, he holds little fantasy value outside of racking up defensive stats and being an aerial threat on set piece situations.
